Current StatusBusiness Plan Ready
Amount Invested0
Funding RequiredRM 500000
DescriptionTo start-up an ICO platform in Singapore to purchase real estate in US.
Business OpportunityCurrently i’m dealing with real estate company and developer in Florida, US. The real estate investment return is contracted for 3 years at 15% p.a. (total 45% margin). Each plot of 10,000 sqft land is priced at 30,000 USD. Freehold title issued by the US Official Land Records. Buy-back policy is stated in the contract (with return) if there’s no new buyer. I’m getting 15% upfront upon purchasing the land plus another 5% of commission.
Revenue / Business ModelThere’s more than 1500 plots of land/bungalow lot to be built into houses within 3 years. My planning is to develop an ICO platform in Singapore backed by real estate to acquire the lands. Cost for the platform setup is 700,000 USD by progession. I need a start-up fund of 200,000 USD. 

My margin is 45% for 3 years, 25% goes to token investors, 10% for platform developer and 10% for my side. 

Monthly targeted raised fund is 1mil USD. For the 15% upfront that i get upon purchase, 10% goes to platform developer and i have 5% on hand. 

Monthly margin = USD 1,000,000 x 5% = USD 50,000

Proposed return to angel investor/funder = 100% ROI in 3 years (Half-yearly or yearly payout)
